So I picked up the phone, called Public Works maintenance division, something that used to make me feel really old and cranky, but then I realized that if no one calls, nobody in the city knows about these things. Much to my surprise, when I grabbed the bus on Monday, July 20. The graffiti was gone not just from the bus bench, but from the bus sign and schedule (usually, the city doesn’t clean AC Transit’s stuff, you have to wait for AC Transit’s sign pole crew to come out an clean the sign).
